First Report from the Cleveland Point Set

NarniaWeb Spy Tamara went to the first day of shooting at The Voyage of the Dawn Treader Cleveland Point set. She was kind enough to send us this report.

I went to Cleveland Point this morning and had a look at the set. There were trucks, cranes, tent and trailers everywhere and we could only see in through this one small gap. There were these army camouflage looking tents set up right next to the fence with people all inside on laptops. Camera equipment was all stored in another tent. There were people everywhere, including extras which were in costume and looked like they were going to be the ship crew. (They wore white shirts, deep red vests, blue pants and black knee high boots and all were dark skinned and had beards lol). There were also more crew and extras on the deck of the ship as well, and judging by the huge amount of equipment and vehicles on the ground right in front, it definitely looked like they were going to film on the deck today. But it was really cloudy and looked like it was going to rain so I hope that it doesn’t mess it up for them!

About 500 metres down the road there was another section fenced off with catering tents, trailers, buses, trucks etc and we saw more extras in shuttle buses getting driven to the set.

It looks so exciting and I would love to stay there all day, every day just watching it all! I’ve attached some photos but I apologise, they aren’t too great because I only had my iphone one me..

You can see in the pictures how high the mast is going to be, and the second lantern is lit!

Mmm-hmm, I noticed that as well. I’m not sure who it could be though, as the graying hair seems to old to be Rynelf or Rhince and I’m not sure that a small extra would have a different colored uniform.

Yes, it is actually set up right next to a small playground XD Going next weekend as well. It’s right on the edge of that part of the coast, with a great view of the other islands scattered about. There’s a little cafe and whatnot there as well. I went there in mid-August and on the 5th of September, so…yesterday, but they weren’t filming maybe because of Skandar’s birthday. Going next weekend as well, to hopefully see some filming.

Tumnus – I tried to respond to you, but you didn’t give me a valid email address when you sent your request earlier. Please send another Contact request with your real email address and I’ll help you out. And make sure that you have converted your account (click the red box on the login page).

Yep, you can get that close, there’s just that fence keeping everyone out. That was the only place to see anything though, all along the fence was blocked with trucks etc. So I think they expected people to want to come and see, especially since we have neverrr had anything like this in our area before! Everyone’s really curious!

Awesome! I wish I lived down there! I am so happy that it is going along so well except the weather part lol but that will clear up 🙂 I wanna see Skandar!
Skandar’s birthday is tomorrow he will be 18 yay!

a) Happy 18th Birthday Skandar (tis the 5th in Aus) b) I want to see the set and some of the filming c) Thanks for the report, Tamara
(btw, WUV the new reply thingummy. part of the reason i’m typing this, eh eh eh. WELL DONE ON THE WEB REDESIGN!)

Well…it’s about time! Let’s hurry up filmers so we can enjoy the film before we die. This is atleast a good sign that they are actually planning to make it. I’m not going to say I can’t wait because I’m still curious about how this new director will do. They better not take it any further off the line than PC went (though it was still a fun movie). Well I’m interested in seeing how this turns out!
